| Long Description | The ancient civilization of Mesopotamia thrived between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates over 4,000 years ago. The myths collected here, originally written in cuneiform on clay tablets, include parallels with the biblical stories of the Creation and the Flood, and the famous Epic of Gilgamesh , the tale of a man of great strength, whose heroic quest for immortality is dashed through one moment of weakness. Recent developments in Akkadian grammar and lexicography mean that this new translation--complete with notes, a glossary of deities, place-names, and key terms, and illustrations of the mythical monsters featured in the text--will replace all other versions. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more. |

PDF417 Barcode
PDF417 (Portable Data File 417) is a high-capacity two-dimensional barcode symbology capable of encoding large amounts of data in a relatively small space. Developed by Dr. Ynjiun P. Wang at Symbol Technologies in the mid-1990s, PDF417 consists of stacked rows of variable-width bars and spaces arranged in a grid pattern. It can encode a variety of data types, including text, numbers, and binary data, making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as transportation, ticketing, identification, and inventory management. PDF417 barcodes are highly versatile and can store up to 1.1 kilobytes of data, making them ideal for situations where extensive information needs to be encoded on a single barcode.
One of the key features of PDF417 is its robust error correction capability, which ensures accurate data retrieval even in cases of partial damage or distortion of the barcode. PDF417 uses Reed-Solomon error correction codes to detect and correct errors in the encoded data, providing a high level of reliability in scanning and decoding. Additionally, PDF417 barcodes can be read omnidirectionally, allowing for quick and efficient scanning from any orientation. This makes PDF417 suitable for use in environments where barcode labels may be presented to scanners in varying orientations, such as on mobile devices or in high-speed scanning applications. Overall, PDF417 offers a powerful solution for encoding and retrieving large volumes of data in a compact and efficient format.
PDF stands for Portable Data File and 4 indicates that each section of the code is made of 4 bars and stripes by 17 units. These can be between 3 and 90 rows.
This symbol is like stacked sets of 1D barcodes. Both numbers and letters can be encoded into these symbols. The symbol is made up of start and stop patterns, left and right row indicators and the data blocks in the middle.
This symbology is in the public domain meaning that anyone can make use of it without dealing with licing issues. If you need to generate these types of codes, you might want to check out the www.racoindustries.com web site.
